Washington Square Estates

Just wondering how many of us, in WSE actually use the Park, on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. If no one responds to this request – the result should be obvious to all of us.

Dear WSE neighbor,

Please join us at the Park for coffee and chat 10-11.

Bring a friend, your dog on a leash, your children/grandchildren to

“Cougar Woods Park” at the cul-de-sac on Ventura Drive.

Questions: contact Joanmorley@comcast.net or

This activity is not WSE funded

And it is attacking our red cedar trees through their root system.

I Just met with Arborist Jeff, from Urban Forest Pro, on several dead trees at the south entrance.

His company is offering a “solution” In the form of a shot for the ailing trees. I am equally sure other Arborists are also making their offerings available. I suggest that you call and gather information if this is of interest to you.

Who completed the wall cleaning project on Ventura Drive!

A little bird just told me it was Ron Brown.

Thanks a million Ron for volunteering.

This special meeting is called to develop a policy for the board to use to handle all dead tree issues in WSE.

We will meet on Monday, June 10, at 6:30 pm at Wieneke’s home to discuss one topic only:

Dead trees in WSE and the procedures required to take care of them.

This is an open meeting.

The procedure for determining the agency responsible for issuing tree removal permits along Ash Creek are as follows;

 

CITY OF TIGARD PERMIT SERVICES   503-718-2426

 

CLEAN WATER SERVICES  503-718-2426

 

Contacting these two agencies will determine where the responsibility lies in removing dead or dangerous trees along the creek banks.  Trees near the banks of the creek are part of erosion control which is the domain of Clean Water Services. Removing Trees on Association property require review by the City of Tigard Permit Services Department.  Once those two agencies are notified of the problem trees a course of action can be implemented.

 

Sincerely

 

Paul Trinchero Sr.

Former Board Member. (2017-18)

Two homeowners voiced a desire to have an emergency/evacuation plan for WSE home owners.  If there is anyone interested in taking this on (forming a committee, developing a plan,  bringing that proposal to the Board for approval) please contact me (Board Vice-Chair at 503-244-0050 or tpcrawfords@comcast.net.  Thanks,  Terry Crawford

A planning meeting for the block party BBQ will be held at my house at 7pm this Wednesday May 22nd.

Thanks, Mackenzie

Whoever made the decision to hire someone to pressure wash the sidewalk and wall on Ventura Drive is my hero.

It has been 15 years since that wall was built.  It was really a eye sore!

Thank you!

Ron Brown

We have 3 empty flower pots at the park waiting for your donated plants.
